Great video. Nice relaxing beautiful music. I feel so lucky to live here and get to enjoy this area everyday! Well done sir!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you, It is indeed a great area to live. Being from Edmonton we do have some great views as well but you have use beat for sure

[@kenstevenson4133]

You couldn’t have had a better day to catch some trains. The Lower Mainland is so beautiful. I’m sure MB gave you some good tips on location. Very well done Tony.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you Ken, It was a beauteful day. It sure got hoter as I moved inland more. 38c at Tank Hill not far from Lytton

[@hunsbuckel55]

Thank you very much Tony for showing us an area which isn't featured much when it comes to railfanning! 😀

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@hunsbuckel55 your welcome, I just wish my drone was working right when the SRY came through. I’ve sent it in to get repaired now

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

I love settling into watch a Tony V video. I know it's going to be enjoyable, well done and that I will learn a few new things. Thanks Tony. PS: I love the intro with the 2816's whistle.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@carolinecleaveley-q1r its a beautiful area

[@rdsieben]

Power-poles on each side and steep grades is what I remember on this line.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@rdsieben yes, 2% grade and i believe there was overhead cantary at one point for the tram?

[@OrganMaster]

Thanks!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@OrganMaster so much appreciated OM. Thanks

[@andrewmcarthur3843]

Nice shots from Mission area. Some CPs will stay on the CN side here, as the exits to container and coal facilities are further west 👍

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@andrewmcarthur3843 thanks, I really enjoyed filming the area. Sorry we couldn’t meet. I needed to get back home

[@andrewmcarthur3843]

​@@TonyVRailfanninghey no problem. You had great weather here

[@rtdg4419]

Tony, with the SRY interchanging with four out of the six class one railroads in North America do they do at least some of the interchange between those class one roads, eg between CN and UP using the SRY as an intermediary, or are they always done directly between between the railroads elsewhere?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@rtdg4419 I am not 100% sure on that answer. Hopefully somebody else can answer that question.

[@rdsieben]

That used to be the BC Hydro Railway

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@rdsieben yes it was

[@yosemitesam6945]

SRY pushed in and took away rail cars that were unloaded and loaded with automobiles from where I worked on Annacis island. We handle CP and CN.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@yosemitesam6945 I wish I had had more time to spend in the lower mainland and film, but unfortunately, I lost my job so I had to get back to Edmonton

[@heronimousbrapson863]

It is my understanding that the operations on Vancouver Island have been "mothballed" for several years now. Does SRY even still own the Vancouver Island line?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@heronimousbrapson863 a short stretch is still active out of Nanaimo BC

[@tracksidebc5854]

Tony If your drone is a DJI I suggest you get a repair quote from them. I have found them to be much cheaper.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@tracksidebc5854 it is being repaired by them

[@brucybabyy7355]

is that spur that goes under the road in use?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@brucybabyy7355 yes, Thats the CPKC page sub and the goes into the US

[@NeistMKII]
